Cause

Installation will fail because there is no SSL certificate configured. As of Password Server v2.5 the use of SSL is now a requirement. You need a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS binding in IIS.

Resolution

Check the Base URL entered. if you have an SSL certificate configured in IIS then modify the Base URL to reflect that SSL binding during the installation.

If you do not have an SSL certificate setup you will need to Configure an SSL Certificate in IIS.

We recommend using a trusted public CA such as Verisign, Inc to obtain the certificate. This solution is particularly good if you want to enable secure communications for authentication agents over the public Internet, where your AuthAnvil Password Server will be exposed publicly.

To enable SSL for the AuthAnvil Password Server website after you have a certificate installed in IIS, follow these steps:

Launch the IIS Manager, and expand Sites.

Click on the website where the AuthAnvil Password Server will be installed and click Bindings under the actions menu.

Click Add

Change the type from http to https, set your IP address and port, and chose a certificate from the SSL certificate dropdown menu.

Click OK and then Close to apply the binding.

Install the Password server using this new SSL binding.

For more information about setting up SSL in IIS see this guide from Microsoft http://www.iis.net/learn/manage/configuring-security/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis

Affects

Password Server v2.5 and newer unless otherwise posted.
